sat lomkheun sangkasih (สัตว์ลมขึ้นสังกะสี)

Thai. ‘Zinc wind-up animal’. Name for a toy animal made from tin, which in Thai is actually called dihbook, while tin toys are in Thai known as khong len dihbook (ของเล่นดีบุก), though they are usually referred to as khong len sangkasih, i.e. ‘zinc toys’. Tin wind-up animals were publicized on a stamp as part of a set of six Thai postage stamps on zinc toys, issued in 2010 (fig.). 回
